The USCIS will likey consider you to be married if the social customs of your beneficiaries country consider you to be married.

@Afrobeat  This may also pertain to your question about how the USCIS will interpret the "Traditional Marriage".  The USCIS documents, in part, the following with respect to what they consider to be a legal marriage:

 

"In general, the legal validity of a marriage is determined by the law of the place where the marriage was celebrated (“place-of-celebration rule”). Under this rule, a marriage is valid for immigration purposes in cases where the marriage is valid under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is performed."

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartG-Chapter2.html

 

If a "Traditional Marriage" is not considered to be a valid marriage in your beneficiaries home country, then you will need to explain that in response to your RFE.

Actually, more than USCIS the CO refused to give visa in most cases...

 

This is one of the most seen denial reasons being "too married for K1 not enough for CR1"
